Chapter 1098 - Chapter 1098 Chapter 392 Concern Leads to Chaos

Chapter 1098: Chapter 392: Concern Leads to Chaos Chapter 1098: Chapter 392: Concern Leads to Chaos “Young Master can no longer tolerate your negligence. Since you are so unwilling to establish an intelligence system, then leave Chaochang!”

The middle-aged man looked at Sister Xiu’er, who was biting her lower lip without saying a word, and sighed, “Someone will come to take over your position. After you hand over the intelligence on Chaochang’s forces and the Divine Artifact to her, you can go back to Blood Tower.”

Sister Xiu’er, who had been silent, suddenly raised her head in surprise and said, “Hand over? Leave? No, I cannot go!”

“This is an order!” The middle-aged man’s face suddenly darkened, “You are a descendant of the Yun Clan, with the blood of the Yun Family flowing within you. The path you walk has been paved by the lives of countless Yun ancestors. Your purpose in living is to remember this, not to wallow in degradation!”

“I have not deprecated myself,” cried Sister Xiu’er. “But even if we regain control of Chaochang, what then? The real threat to the Yun Family isn’t the Xiang Family; they are just a vicious dog that’s changed its master. And even this vicious dog has now grown ferocious fangs, ready to shatter the little hope left by the Yun Clan out of hatred. Is this what you want to see!?”

“Hold your tongue!” The middle-aged man was uncontrollably furious, “How dare you, a monstrous offspring, speak such seditious nonsense? As a Yun descendant, if you can forget such deep-seated blood feuds, then what humanity is there left to speak of!?”

“If it were truly for the sake of vengeance, the family head and the elders should have left the hope of life to those brothers of the clan with martial ambitions, not to us children barely able to speak!”

Unyielding, Sister Xiu’er argued firmly, “The ancestors thought that although the martial path could save the world, it could not sustain it; only the path of commerce could. That’s why, after the great prosperity of the Human Race, they destroyed the martial arts texts and turned from martial arts to commerce. But now you want to overturn a millennium of tradition, abandoning commerce for martial arts. I don’t understand why!”

“Because Ancestor Yun’s path was wrong!” the middle-aged man said coldly. “Ancestor Yun overestimated the memory of humankind and underestimated their greed. He thought that the camaraderie formed from unitedly fighting against the demonic beasts would ensure the eternal prosperity of the Yun Clan, but what’s the reality? The Yun ancestral temple was razed to the ground, and even Yulin Pavilion next door arrived too late. Where was that camaraderie in saving the world when it mattered?”

“For a thousand years, the Yun Clan has traded with countless households, opening numerous trade routes, benefiting well over hundreds of millions of people. But when the Yun Clan faced its downfall, where were those people who had once received help from the Yun Clan? Ancestor Yun was wrong from the beginning, for pity towards the weak does not make a noble house strong. No matter how much gratitude is reaped, if it can’t be converted into strength, it’s nothing but a hollow reputation!”

“In an age of great turmoil, only power is the foundation of survival! Even if it’s a thousand years late, given the talent of the Yun Clan’s disciples, given time, we will still return to the pinnacle of the Human Race. By then, every debt owed to the Yun Clan will be repaid one by one!”

“No, this is wrong,” Sister Xiu’er said with tears streaming down her face, shaking her head. “Even if one day the Yun Clan returns to the summit of the Human Race, what we bring to Xiehe will be nothing but destruction, leaving Xiehe a wasteland of ruins. What’s the point of sitting at the pinnacle of the human world then!?”

“Hah,” the middle-aged man’s mouth curled slightly, revealing an indescribably resolute disdain, “The Yun Clan perished because it did not have the power to drag Xiehe into oblivion. Do you think the Human Race is flourishing and the holy lands are at peace because they love peace? It’s only because they know that if the holy lands go to war, Xiehe will turn into a wasteland. That’s why the kings of realms avoid the world, and the holy ones do not appear.”

“And what are the secluded Human Kings and holy ones doing?” The middle-aged man pointed at the Heavenly Dao. “Do you know how many of the stars that orbit in the sky were created by the Wang Clan of the southern heavens; how many solidified Minor Spiritual Realms in Zhongzhou have been linked together, forming the embryonic form of the central thousand worlds; the Human Kings of Martial Saint Mountain are even roaming through space, seeking something unknown. Why do these holy lands need to make these preparations, do you think it’s to see Xiehe prosper!?”

“Nobody likes war, but it will come as promised one day. But when do you think this war will start?”

The middle-aged man’s expression, seemingly calm, was extremely cruel, “I think, at least not until the holy lands feel they are prepared. And the standard for preparedness probably is, even if Xiehe turns into a wasteland, it won’t matter.”

“From now until that day, how much time is left for the Yun Clan? Of course, you can close your eyes, shrink back, and together with the ignorant masses, bask in the happiness and joy you believe in. But when that day does come, you’ll be like the fish caught in the net, struggling desperately while suffocating in despair.”

“So, I say Yun Zu was wrong!”

“To support a land doomed to become barren, that’s simply a dead end! If it weren’t for him kicking the Yun Clan off the pedestal of the Human Race’s holy land and pointing us down this fatal path, how could the Yun Clan have fallen to such lows!”

The middle-aged man’s facial features twisted, his once immense reverence turning into equally deep hatred, “Now, it’s time to wake up! Abandoning the impractical ideal of using the merchant way to aid the world and returning to the right path is what the disciples of the Yun Clan should do!”

“In ten days, Yunfang will come to Chaochang to take over your duties. In these few days, you’ll join me in investigating what exactly the Evil King Palace is secretly plotting with the Xiang Family!”

The middle-aged man turned his head and extended his hand, “Give me the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul.”

Sister Xiu’er’s heart clenched, answered only by silence.

…

Tang Luo, who had been sitting in front of the small hut for a long time, was distraught. These days, Sister Xiu’er’s fishing schedule was as regular as the cycles of the sun and moon.

This unexpected delay filled him with trepidation. The intuition of a warrior is never aimless, and such sudden premonitions are never unfounded.

But the Spirit World Passage should be sufficiently secretive. It was just a trip south to fish in the sea, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Where then was this inexplicable feeling coming from?

Sitting and waiting for doom had never been in Tang Luo’s nature. With one-handed seals, he activated the array and the entrance to the Spirit World Passage appeared. Tang Luo sunk into it, looking to trace Yun Xiu’s whereabouts.

Following the passage southward, Tang Luo’s expression suddenly darkened as he saw a net full of dead fish, which had been dead for several hours by the looks of it.

Sister Xiu’er, who cherished life and utilized even fish bones to their fullest, wouldn’t abandon her freshly caught fish in her nets like this. This meant something must have happened to her!

Having reached this conclusion, Tang Luo, with a grim face, left the Spirit World Passage, wheeled himself into the city, and found a post station of the Beast Taming Sect.

After writing two letters, Tang Luo handed them to the Post Station Attendant with a calm voice, “These two letters, send them to Beimang, with maximum urgency!”

If something truly untoward had befallen Sister Xiu’er, then the only one with the ability to move freely within Chaochang City was that person!
